Plan your visit →Treatments
Advanced care, matched to the problem
Many of our patients have already tried the usual treatments. We look for the reason a wound or deformity isn't healing, then fix that reason.
Diabetic & complex wounds
Ulcers, pressure injuries, and surgical wounds that won't close. Debridement, offloading, advanced dressings, and a plan that addresses blood flow and infection.
For: sores open four weeks or longer, any wound with diabetes
Limb preservation surgery
Surgery for deep infection and bone infection (osteomyelitis), with staged procedures that save as much of the foot as possible.
For: patients told they may need an amputation
Charcot reconstruction
Early casting and protection for the warm, swollen Charcot foot, and surgical realignment when the foot has collapsed.
For: neuropathy with a swollen foot or changing foot shape
Muscle flaps & skin grafts
Orthoplastic reconstruction that brings healthy tissue to cover exposed bone, tendon, or hardware so a wound can close for good.
For: large or deep wounds, exposed structures
Microsurgical nerve surgery
Decompression and repair of injured or trapped nerves in the foot and leg, for selected patients with nerve pain, numbness, or neuroma.
For: burning, tingling, or shooting pain after injury or surgery
Reconstructive foot & ankle
Correction of deformities, unstable joints, and pressure points that cause pain or keep wounds coming back.
For: collapsing arch, ankle instability, toe deformity

For patients with diabetes or neuropathy
The two-minute daily foot check
When feeling in the feet is reduced, small injuries go unnoticed. A quick look every day is one of the most effective ways to protect your feet.
A new sore or blister, drainage on your sock, a spot that is red, warm, or swollen, or any change in the shape of your foot.
- Look at the tops and bottomsUse a mirror or ask someone to help you see the soles and heels.
- Check between the toesLook for cracks, moisture, or skin breakdown.
- Feel for warm spotsCompare one foot to the other with the back of your hand.
- Look for changesCuts, blisters, calluses with dark spots, color changes, or swelling.
- Check your shoes before putting them onFeel inside for stones, seams, or anything that could rub.
- Moisturize, but not between the toesDry skin cracks; moisture between toes invites infection.
For physicians, wound centers & home health
Referrals welcome
Send us patients whose lower-extremity problems need a surgeon's eye. Earlier referral keeps more options open.
- Wound not clearly improving after four weeks
- Wound that probes to bone, or exposed tendon or hardware
- Warm, swollen foot with neuropathy
- Dry gangrene or darkening toes
- Recurring ulcers or deformity causing pressure
- Nerve injury, entrapment, or neuroma
Please include demographics, insurance, recent notes, imaging, vascular studies, and labs. Spreading infection with systemic signs belongs in the emergency department first; call us so we can coordinate.

Questions
Common questions
Don't see yours? Call the office at 850-359-6329.
Do I need a referral?
Referrals are welcome, and many patients come to us through their doctor, a wound center, or a hospital. Some insurance plans require a referral. Call us and we'll help you check.
What is the Friday open clinic?
Open clinic runs Fridays from 2:00 to 4:30 PM. All other visits are by appointment. Please call ahead if you can, so we can have your records ready.
Will I need surgery?
Not always. Many wounds and foot problems improve with the right offloading, wound care, and treatment of the underlying cause. When surgery is the better option, Dr. Weiland will explain why and what recovery looks like.
I was told I need an amputation. Can you help?
A limb preservation evaluation can show whether other options exist. Bring your imaging, recent labs, and any vascular studies so the evaluation is as complete as possible.
Do you accept my insurance?
Call the office with your plan information and we'll verify your coverage before your visit.
How is Evolve Podiatry related to ILĒP?
